My Son Came Home Carrying a One-Eyed Ginger Cat Because He Said They Were Alike – But Two Days Later, the Note Hidden Beneath the Collar Left Us in Tears

Back home, I checked Facebook again.

The same neighbor had posted another comment.

“Funny how the cat magically showed up at the house with a kid who wears an eye patch.”

“People really will build a story out of anything.”

My fingers hovered above the keyboard.

“Mom?” Noah called from the living room. “Captain took his medicine! Well, half. The other half is on my sock.”

I closed the laptop immediately and went to help him.
